The State of Gobhar is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 17.359 billion Gobharians are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 23.9%.

The Gobharian economy, worth a remarkable 1,033 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Gambling, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 59,515 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Gobhar has designated Capital Heights as its capital city and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Gobhar in an international press conference. Crime is almost non-existent. Gobhar's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gobhar is ranked 101,954^th in the world and 3^rd in South Dakota for Most Corrupt Governments, with 12.26 kickbacks per hour.
